this is what mr.wizard, my future son inlaw(i can call him that now that he gave my daughter an ingagement ring) is doing to the m2 that he bought from my buddy a year and a half ago. for those who aren't familiar with the color, he has a thing for artic cat.     | ||

Is that powdercoat or rattle can? | ||
| F_skinner |
Looks like Kawasaki green to me. Tell him it is not too late to change. Actually it looks like a green and black bike? Might look pretty good. Is that Derek's old bike? And regardless of it is or not have you heard from Derek in a while? | ||
| Nevrenuf |
powder coat. i think he is gonna paint some stuff | ||
| Gowindward |
Wow, do I have something for him when he gets that far.  | ||
| Nevrenuf |
yea frank, that's dereks bike. haven't talked to him for a couple of weeks. he went back to cleveland to see his family and take care of some legal issues. when he bought the bike he got a really good deal on it but just never got into the buell thing and said it was to hard to work on.(guess you really have to know derek) but for tim it's been a work in progress from the beginning. can't wait to see how it really turns out. so what's the rest of that gowindward | ||

It's a custom seat for a Kawasaki Versys. | ||
| Nevrenuf |
can you post a full pic | ||
| Mr_wizard |
That seat looks really cool. All the parts that are metal got powder coated. The triple trees, front motor mount, lower fork tubes, and handle bars are all gloss black. I would be a fool to try and paint that with a rattle can! All my plastics are getting new paint too. It will be awhile before I get those back though. Thats ok it is going to take awhile to put this all back together. I will keep posting update pics. If anyone knows where I can get my hands on a race header that would be great! | ||

| Nevrenuf |
 thanks for the pic gowindward what do ya think tim. would that be cool enough for ya. | ||
| Mr_wizard |
that would add alot, where would I get it done and how much? | ||
| Brinnutz |
PM the guy who posted the pic...he makes them | ||
| Doughnut |
HOT! Hope the body gets done in a nice deep dark emerald green! | ||
| Mr_wizard |
going to the shop tomorrow to pur my new tires on. I am putting the pirelli angels? Not shure but I am going to give them a try. Just waiting on new bearings for my swing arm then I get start to put it back together | ||
| Mr_wizard |
Here are the rims, check out the tread pattern on the rear tire!   | ||

Patiently waiting on 'Project Kermit' pics lol. Neat idea tho | ||
| Nevrenuf |
"project kermit" good one dammit. i'm sorry tim but that is to funny. but maybe you can have someone do kermit on an artic cat snowmobile. | ||
| Mr_wizard |
ha ha, laugh now but I went over and saw the paint guy yesterday that is doing all the airbrushing and holy crap. I can't help it that I like green. | ||
| Mr_wizard |
I forgot, can someone post or e-mail me some pictures of the tail section were the fuse block is, I have some wiring questions that I can't find in the book. Thanks. | ||
| Phelan |
You should gloss black the rotor carrier too. | ||
| Mr_wizard |
I thought about that but I would have to paint it. I didn't want to powder coat it because it might warp. I might have to fire up the paint gun and paint it. | ||
| Buell_bert |
I did not think powder coating would warp any steel parts. Most steel should not even get malleable until 900 deg. F. | ||

Instead of "Project Kermit" I think the bike should be named "PROJECT HULK". PUNY HUMANS ON JAPANESE BIKES MAKE HULK MAD!!! (Message edited by dreadnaught1 on February 22, 2010) | ||
| Nevrenuf |
hey tim, you still need a pic of the box. | ||
| Mr_wizard |
yes I do, not shure on the mounting of some of the electrical back there and the book doesn't give any good pics of it. Thanks neil. | ||
| Nevrenuf |
i'll be home by 430 our time if you want to give me a call anytime after so i make sure i take the right pic for ya. | ||
| Mr_wizard |
My quest for buell race exhaust is finally over!!!!!! Can't wait to here it | ||
| Dammitquikgentry |
You'll love a race header, I have a kooks and its awesome! Brinnutz said it scrapes but my pegs do first (never scraped it) and its so deep soundin. My gf loves the X1 more than the 1125R. May have to keep this one, she said the R is too quiet (and the X1 vibrates a lot but I wasn't supposed to write that lol). But yeah dude it makes it feel like a different bike | ||
| Kalali |
How does the race exhaust sound compare to a V&H? |
